Musclesare elastic and therefore able expand and contract with movement.
Although muscles can stretch, when they reach the end of their normal range they
can tear. This can happen with a sudden forceful pulling known as a strain. Muscles can also become
fatigued from overuse and
lack of proper rest. Muscle pain can be an achy soreness, usually from repetitive stiffening and shortening of the fibers caused by overuse.
Irritated muscles may also cramp up and spasms may ensue.
Cramping implies that the muscles have rapidly shortened up, where as spasms
imply that the muscle fibers have not only shortened up, but also have become severely
stiff and irritated. Muscles may produce spasm or extreme muscle
stiffening after a traumatic injury or repetitive strain. The difference
between a repetitive strain and a traumatic injury is that with a repetitive
strain the muscles are being irritated over a long period of time until they
reach a point that finally triggers the spasm. The muscles then spasm to
protect the area from further injury. For example, a person who has
improper posture at a computer on a regular basis, or a golfer who plays
frequently with bad form may have their muscles tighten over time, but the
muscles may not start to spasm until something as simple as reaching for a glass
of water occurs. This spasm can be extremely painful and lead to tearing of the
muscles if undue stressors are placed on them. This tearing will than lead
to guarding of the back musculature through extreme stiffening to protect the
area from further harm. With proper care for the area, the pain in the
back musculature should lessen over three weeks, but it should be noted that the
healing of the area continues and doesn't even peak until at least six weeks
following the initial injury. This is due to scar tissue formation which
initially acts like the glue to bond the tissue back together. Scar tissue
will continue to form past six weeks in some cases and as long as a year in
severe back pulls. The initial approach to treating a muscle pull is to
support and protect the muscles, help them to loosen up and lessen the pain and
minimize any inflammation. It
becomes vitally important to help restore the normal flexibility to damaged or
irritated muscles. When the muscles become injured from prolonged irritation, they
can develop a reactive inflammation called myofascitis. Myofascial pain syndrome
refers to a condition where the myofascitis occurs on a constant basis and
becomes chronic over a long period of time. Muscles may be injured initially through traumatic tearing of the
fibers, repetitive strain, and through pre-existing conditions which cause the
muscles to be weakened and inflamed without provocation. Fibromyalgia is
one such condition in which multiple muscles of the body are in a constant
irritated state, and demonstrate myofascial pain syndrome. While traumatic
injuries are easily identified, repetitive strains can be more difficult to
ascertain. These strains can begin with a repetitive movement where the
muscles are being irritated over a long period of time until they become
vulnerable to tearing from a simple change in the position of the back.
For example, a person who has improper posture at a computer on a regular basis,
or a golfer who plays frequently with bad form may have their muscles tighten
over time and form micro-tearing and inflammation as a result.
Approximately 5 days after an injury, scar tissue will then form to act
like glue to bond the tissue back together. Scar tissue will continue to
form past six weeks in some cases and as long as a year in severe back strains.
In cases where the repetitive irritation is not halted, or if the area does not
heal properly and the scar tissue does not break down, myofascial irritation
will persist.
As pain will inhibit the flexibility of an area and
further stiffen the surrounding muscles and joints, decreasing pain is important in
the healing process. While internal pain medication can decrease
pain temporarily, there can be serious short and long term side effects
associated with them. Topical formulas avoid these internal side effects
and can sooth the muscles.
Knowing that these types of muscle problems require something above and beyond the average
topical pain relievers on the
market, with the collaboration of doctors and biochemists, we had Therapain®
Plus formulated exclusively for Relief-Mart. We strongly believe that this
amazing penetrating spray is the best topical pain relieving formula on the market!
We are so convinced that you will not find a better
product, that we will give you a full
refund if you are not totally satisfied.
"Therapain Plus took away my pain as fast as
1-2-3, gave me lasting relief, was totally painless and even smelled really
good!"

Ten Reasons Why You Will Not Find a Better Topical
Formula than Therapain PlusÒ!
1.
Pain Relief Naturally: Most topical pain reliever
formulas use harsh chemicals and even cancer-causing agents. Therapain
Plus® uses no artificial ingredients, preservatives,
dyes or chemical binders and fillers. Herbal ingredients like peppermint,
eucalyptus and natural menthol make this formula pure, simple, natural and
effective.
2.
Combines the Proven Ingredients of TherapainÒ
with Glucosamine and MSM: TherapainÒ
is a proven natural pain reliever used by people around the world, with
countless testimonials. Therapain PlusÒ
uses the proven ingredients of TherapainÒ
and adds Glucosamine and MSM. Glucosamine
and MSM are currently the subject of many studies designed to evaluate their
uses in muscular, joint, and healthy cell function. Our unique natural
skin conditioner combines extremely well with MSM and Glucosamine to actually
help increase skin absorption. Both MSM and Glucosamine are also great
skin conditioners. (If you would like to learn more about Glucosamine and MSM
click here).
3.
Highest Combined Concentration of Glucosamine and MSM in a
Topical Solution: At over 14,000mg of Glucosamine and MSM, this
formula boasts the highest combined concentration of Glucosamine and MSM in a
topical solution. A few formulas claim that they contain these two
ingredients, but in minuscule amounts.
4.
Over 28 Times More Daily Glucosamine and MSM Per Area than Pill
Form:
1500 mg of Glucosamine and MSM are often the recommended dosage in pill
form. With over 200 movable joints in the body, that only amounts to a
little over 7mg distributed per area a day. With each application of
Therapain Plus®
averaging over 50 mg of MSM and over 50 mg of Glucosamine, applying Therapain
Plus® four times a day will equal over 200 mg of each
ingredient a day. This amounts to over 28 times the amount of
Glucosamine and MSM placed directly over each specific area.
5.
No Processing or Heating up of Ingredients to destroy natural
Potency: In order to bind creams and lotions, the ingredients need to
be heated. Therapain Plus® requires no processing or
heating up of the ingredients which can harm fragile ingredients like the
naturally occurring MSM.
6.
FDA Registered Pain Reliever With No Intestinal Side Effects:
Therapain Plus® has been registered with the FDA as a pain
reliever with the active ingredient of natural Menthol. It can be used
with the aches and pains associated with arthritis, neck and backaches, muscle
stiffness and soreness, sprains, strains, carpal Tunnel syndrome, Fibromyalgia,
Sciatica, Tendonitis, Bursitis, shingles, athletic injuries, wrist, elbow,
shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, foot pain and many other acute and chronic painful
conditions. Therapain Plus®
uses two percent natural menthol, enough for strong pain relief, but mild enough
to feel comfortable upon application. You will feel a pleasant,
cooling sensation at first, followed by warming pain relief without any
burning, numbing or intestinal side effects.
7.
Unique Natural Ingredients Added to Provide Better Absorption
Than Other Topical Pain Relievers: Most gels, creams and lotions add
waxy substances like paraffin and stearic acid which do not absorb well.
Therapain Plus® provides unique, natural ingredients to
allow for the best skin absorption and penetration down where you need it most!
8.
Therapain Plus Spray for Easy Application: Therapain Plus®
spray formula makes application easy with no rubbing required. By
using a spray, you can even get to those difficult-to-reach areas of
the body.
9.
Non-Greasy, No Lingering Smell, and Won’t Stain Clothes: Our formula is
non-greasy and won’t leave skin lingering with unpleasant medicine smells like
most other topical pain relievers that do not absorb well and use too high of a
concentration level of menthol or synthetic wintergreen concentration. Not only
will the ingredients not stain clothes, but the pleasant peppermint and mild
menthol smell usually dissipates in less than 20 minutes.
10.
This Product is Manufactured in the USA and Not Sold In Stores:
Therapain Plus® is manufactured in the USA
under the strictest standards, using only the highest quality,
natural ingredients. No animal testing was performed. We have opted
not to mass-produce this product, thereby ensuring a higher standard
of quality control.
I searched for years to find a topical pain reliever that works fast, penetrates deep,
made from natural ingredients, feels and smells
pleasant, and includes Glucosamine and MSM. This product not only meets
these high expectations, but is actually better than I ever imagined! The
response from my patients with the type of muscle problems mentioned above as been so overwhelmingly
positive, that it has prompted me to use it in combination with virtually all my
treatment
regimens.

Glucosamine Supplements
Pure Pharmaceutical Grade Glucosamine Capsules
Our Joint Relief Supplement uses only the finest
pharmaceutical grade Glucosamine in 750mg easy to swallow capsules.
Current research suggests a dosage of 1500mg daily. At 120 capsules per
bottle, you have enough for a two month supply. Glucosamine is the
precursor to the formation of Chondroitin, the substance that helps with the
formation of the cushioning cartilage found between the movable joints of the
body. According to the Encyclopedia of Nutritional Supplements, the
absorption rate for Chondroitin Sulfate is estimated between 0 and 8 percent.
In contrast studies show up to 98% of the orally administrated Glucosamine
Sulfate is absorbed. Glucosamine Sulfate has been clinically proven to
relieve joint discomfort, promote joint mobility and strengthen, and stimulate
the growth of new cartilage*.
*These statements have not been evaluated by
the FDA. this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure or
prevent any disease.
A Doctor's Perspective
The overwhelming amount of positive support found in the
literature, combined with the strong interest that patients have shown in
finding a natural nutrition supplement that would improve muscle and joint
function, has catapulted Glucosamine to the top of the popularity list.
There are countless number of planned future Glucosamine studies, but I
believe the evidence will continue to demonstrate that this supplement
is extremely effective. Taking Glucosamine orally will compliment using
Therpain Plus topically, especially if you have multiple areas that need to be helped at
once. In my practice I have noticed my patients report positive results
within 2-6 weeks of taking this supplement.
Each
bottle contains the finest pharmaceutical grade Glucosamine in 750mg capsules.
With a suggested dosage of 1500mg, the 120 capsules per bottle will provide a
two months supply.
